Lockhart was injured.

This spread throughout Hogwarts as quickly as possible.

Hospitalized on the first day of school, Lockhart broke the record of injuries made by previous Defence Against the Dark Arts professors with incredible speed.

As is customary, for the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, students make bets:

when the new professor was injured; how long you can last at Hogwarts; In the end, he will die or leave school alive.

The prize money comes from the "Battle Pass", and every student who participates in the gambling will take out ten sicos and throw them into the prize pool...... Absolutely fair and equitable.

Finally, the little wizard who guesses the most accurately will get the full prize. If several people are the same, the Battle Pass will be split equally.

But everyone never expected that Lockhart would be hospitalized on the first day, and they didn't even have time to open the market.

And the reason for Lockhart's injury is also outrageous, he was knocked unconscious by the beating Liu.

The students who witnessed this incident were all describing Lockhart's embarrassment to others...... It's a big surprise.

Of course, the students who have experienced it are a minority after all, and thanks to Lockhart's beautiful resume, good appearance, and historical ability to make excuses, his fans are still willing to believe that this is just a ...... "accident".

Avid fans are convinced that Lockhart will prove himself in the coming year!

Professor Snape had thought that after Lockhart was hospitalized, he would be able to substitute teach again like he had done last semester, but he didn't expect Lockhart to return in the afternoon.

When Lockhart woke up in the school hospital, claiming to help the student with his illness, Madam Pomfrey, annoyed with it, poured him with the worst potion and kicked him out.

Professor Snape's face was gloomy for days, and he frantically deducted points from his students, and Harry and Ron were deducted twenty points before the start of school...... It's the Ryffindor Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick!

But Snape is not to blame.

Ron drove a flying car into a beating willow, and his wand was broken in two, and he had no money to get a new wand, so he had to borrow someone else's magic tape to glue it up.

If the wand is of such good quality, it can be used by just gluing, what kind of store does Ollivander open!

Therefore, Ron, who was holding the Ukrainian war-damaged version of the wand, just waved the wand lightly at the last moment of the potion boiling, and the crucible exploded directly.

At the time, Snape was standing on the sidelines, staring into Harry's eyes, ready to find fault with him and deduct some points, and then he was splashed with corrosive potion.

It was only twenty points for Gryffindor, and it was already a rare show of mercy on Professor McGonagall's face.

(McGonagall: I thank you for the rest of my life!) ）

Wednesday afternoon,

When it was Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw's Potions class, the badgers and eaglets were quiet, trying not to Snape off.

But before class, Lockhart actually came.

"Hello, Professor Snape!" Lockhart walked into the Potions classroom and greeted him familiarly, and he looked around the room in amazement:

"Your classroom is so cold, why don't you burn the fireplace?"

"Is there something wrong?" Snape said coldly.

"It's all right, I'm going to go to Filch, the administrator, and he wants to ask me about the book "Gilderoy Lockhart Teaches You to Get Rid of Household Pests", you know ......"

Lockhart smiled and said:

"I'm pretty good at it...... His office is very close to your classroom, so drop by and come and see you.

Severus, if you have that need but aren't good at it, I can help you too! ”

Lockhart bared a mouthful of white teeth, shook his blonde hair, winked at the students, and said:

"Your Professor Snape and I used to be classmates in the same school, but I didn't expect to be together again at Hogwarts after so many years of absence, and I was really happy."

Lockhart didn't actually know Snape well, he was in the fifth grade when he entered the school, and Snape only returned to be a professor the year he graduated.

The two barely crossed paths, and he didn't know much about Snape.

But after all, they are classmates in the same school.

Lockhart had noticed that many professors seemed hostile to him, and he decided to get on good terms with Snape.

Snape looked cold and said, "I'm going to class!" ”

"I'm leaving...... Professor Snape, as an old friend, this is a special shampoo I made for you......" Lockhart pulled out a small, delicately packaged bottle from his pocket.

"This shampoo I invented is very useful to lock in the shine of the hair......"

Lockhart turned his head and grinned at the students, revealing a mouthful of neat white teeth.

"Why don't you ask Professor Snape to teach you how to make shampoo! He's a Potions Master! ”

Snape's face turned pale, and everyone was silent, afraid that a fight would start and splash his own blood.

After all, every word of Lockhart seems to be jumping in front of the grave.

Neville looked stupid, isn't Lockhart really afraid of death?

Rove, who was sitting next to the cauldron and holding a potions textbook, also looked up to pay attention to this scene.

Would Snape have shoved Lockhart's head into a cauldron?

Fortunately, Snape still held back, he would definitely not do anything excessive in public, but when there was no one, it was difficult to say.

Lockhart also sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and he hurriedly said:

"I'll go first, Professor Snape. If you have any shampoo you want to buy, you can contact me privately. ”

He had a long memory this time, and didn't say anything like 'you can ask him if you don't know a potion,' because he was afraid that Snape would learn from Sprout and really let him make potions.

Snape snorted, swung his wand and slammed the door, sending the shampoo flying into the trash.

Lockhart stood in the doorway and pouted, he was really unqualified, the material of his bottle of shampoo ...... Very expensive.

Snape turned around and looked around, the whole class was silent, and if it weren't for the fact that they would die of breathing, they might not even be able to breathe.

"Before you start classes today, collect your summer homework." Snape walked briskly to the podium and looked sternly at the student:

"Including my Defence Against the Dark Arts homework!"

There was a wail in the classroom, and many students thought that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for the new semester was not Snape, so they didn't write the assignment.

Including Rove!

Rov scratched his hair, feeling like the day was going to be over!

Shirley, who was sitting on the sidelines, reached into her bag and pulled out her Defence Against the Dark Arts homework and placed it on Rove's potions job.

Rove glanced at the Defence Against the Dark Arts assignment and saw that it was similar to his, he was stunned, and when he reached out to pick it up, he saw that there was another assignment underneath.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts assignment below is Shirley's own handwriting.

Rove raised his eyebrows and whispered, "Shirley, you have two Defense Against the Dark Arts assignments?" ”

The ponytail girl pretended to be surprised, and said softly, "I seem to have accidentally written an extra ...... Didn't you write it? That's for you! ”

"Is it really accidental?" Rove couldn't help but smile, he looked at the assignment that was six or seven points similar to his handwriting, and asked curiously, "When did you learn to imitate my handwriting?" ”

Shirley reached out and held the ponytail, wrapped it around her shoulders, and hung it in front of her, the girl curled the ends of her hair with her fingers, smiled with her eyebrows, and said softly:

"You care about me...... Don't count! ”

"Yes!" Rove hurriedly picked up his homework, and he said seriously: "Thank you." ”

The ponytail girl said with crooked eyebrows: "Forget about Xie, you can give me a salary increase." ”

"Can't add more." Rove smiled: "If I add more, I will have no money." ”

"It's fine!" The corners of the ponytail girl's mouth curled up slightly: "When you don't have any money, I can pay you a salary!" ”

Neville on the side was so anxious that he was about to cry, he listened to Rove's words, and he didn't write at all, who can give him a homework now.

Neville looked at Hannah, who knew that Hannah also turned his head to look at him, and asked with a panicked expression:

"Neville, did you write an extra copy?"
